To be frank, most of the artists on the site made no choice at all. They either didn’t care, or (likely the majority) didn’t pay attention, and probably wouldn’t care even if they did.

I’m still here, and I never threatened to leave because I thought the whole issue was stupid from the beginning.
I still think it’s stupid.
Especially people who leave the site over it and can’t even be arsed to check whether the site is actually doing the thing they’re supposedly “protesting” against.
Probably about half of all artists with accounts here have left by now. If they had accounts here I assume La Hum and Vertical Misfit would have also left, among plenty of others. AFAICT if the reason for the mass DNP is at all an indicator almost every artist who isn’t a white male and has a Derpi account should have left by now, but that’s being overly general to the point any sensible person would find it offensive and report me for Rule 0…
So it’s not just Derpibooru that’s seeing a mass exodus from the whole nazi drama, the Left seems to be abandoning all boorus, period. Danbooru has 346 banned artist tags, of which 305 have been added in the time since the drama here. That’s more than six out of seven…
EDIT: Creation order shows differently, though I don’t recall certain artist tags being there before…
I consider myself politically left, and I personally find this extremely offensive (Okay, maybe not really, I’m being hyperbolic ).
I wouldn’t associate people who do this with the left unless they personally say that they are, and even then I wouldn’t want to be put together with them.
